great_a prophet_n by_o miracle_n and_o when_o he_o be_v persecute_v for_o it_o he_o own_v the_o truth_n to_o the_o very_a death_n and_o set_v a_o great_a example_n of_o constancy_n and_o patience_n and_o submission_n to_o god_n in_o his_o suffering_n as_o other_o great_a prophet_n have_v do_v before_o he_o though_o not_o in_o so_o extraordinary_a a_o manner_n 3._o this_o crucify_a jesus_n be_v

to_o his_o priesthood_n or_o sacrifice_n nor_o have_v any_o dependence_n on_o it_o but_o he_o be_v a_o saviour_n forgive_v sin_n etc._n etc._n by_o a_o sovereign_a power_n give_v he_o by_o god_n not_o by_o merit_n or_o purchase_n or_o the_o expiation_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n and_o there_o be_v this_o contradiction_n in_o it_o that_o a_o creature_n be_v invest_v with_o almighty_a power_n and_o this_o riddle_n in_o it_o that_o god_n shall_v make_v a_o creature_n the_o saviour_n of_o mankind_n and_o this_o blasphemy_n that_o god_n shall_v advance_v a_o creature_n to_o be_v his_o own_o rival_n or_o partner_n in_o divine_a honour_n this_o short_a account_n make_v it_o very_o evident_a what_o a_o fundamental_a difference_n the_o belief_n or_o denial_n of_o the_o divinity_n of_o our_o saviour_n make_v in_o the_o whole_a doctrine_n of_o salvation_n by_o christ_n the_o first_o make_v it_o a_o act_n of_o stupendous_a love_n in_o god_n in_o give_v his_o own_o son_n to_o be_v a_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n the_o second_o be_v a_o great_a act_n of_o love_n in_o save_v sinner_n but_o the_o manner_n be_v not_o so_o full_a of_o wonder_n and_o mysterious_a goodness_n the_o first_o make_v it_o a_o act_n of_o infinite_a love_n and_o condescension_n in_o christ_n to_o become_v man_n a_o minister_n and_o a_o servant_n and_o to_o submit_v to_o a_o accurse_a death_n for_o our_o sake_n that_o though_o he_o be_v rich_a yet_o for_o our_o sake_n he_o become_v poor_a that_o we_o through_o his_o poverty_n may_v be_v rich_a but_o the_o second_o infer_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o i_o can_v see_v if_o he_o be_v nothing_o great_a than_o a_o man_n it_o be_v no_o condescension_n in_o he_o to_o be_v make_v a_o man_n especial_o if_o he_o have_v no_o be_v before_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n it_o be_v no_o more_o matter_n of_o his_o choice_n to_o become_v man_n than_o it_o be_v of_o any_o other_o man_n who_o be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o can_v be_v no_o act_n of_o love_n or_o condescension_n nay_o suppose_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o most_o glorious_a and_o excellent_a creature_n yet_o be_v a_o creature_n there_o be_v not_o such_o a_o vast_a difference_n between_o the_o most_o perfect_a creature_n and_o a_o perfect_a man_n as_o there_o be_v between_o a_o god_n and_o the_o most_o perfect_a creature_n it_o be_v no_o such_o mighty_a debasement_n for_o the_o most_o glorious_a angel_n to_o appear_v in_o pure_a and_o untainted_a flesh_n and_o blood_n especial_o upon_o such_o a_o glorious_a design_n as_o the_o redemption_n of_o mankind_n though_o the_o disguise_n and_o appearance_n may_v be_v think_v below_o a_o angelical_a nature_n yet_o the_o character_n with_o which_o he_o appear_v as_o the_o great_a prophet_n and_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n be_v as_o much_o above_o it_o the_o mean_a state_n and_o condition_n of_o humane_a nature_n a_o poor_a despise_a and_o laborious_a life_n the_o most_o painful_a and_o ignominious_a death_n which_o make_v the_o most_o excellent_a creature_n the_o saviour_n of_o mankind_n and_o advance_v he_o to_o be_v lord_n and_o judge_n of_o the_o world_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o act_n of_o condescend_v love_n in_o the_o most_o glorious_a creature_n that_o it_o be_v above_o his_o ambition_n and_o will_v be_v like_o the_o pride_n of_o lucifer_n to_o be_v equal_a to_o god_n to_o become_v man_n to_o suffer_v and_o die_v for_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o world_n and_o to_o be_v make_v the_o lord_n and_o judge_n both_o of_o the_o quick_a and_o of_o the_o dead_a can_v be_v a_o act_n of_o condescend_v love_n and_o goodness_n only_o in_o god_n so_o that_o to_o deny_v the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n alter_v the_o very_a foundation_n of_o christianity_n and_o destroy_v all_o the_o powerful_a argument_n of_o the_o love_n humility_n and_o condescension_n of_o our_o lord_n which_o be_v the_o peculiar_a motive_n of_o the_o gospel_n thus_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n make_v god_n to_o be_v our_o saviour_n the_o object_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o hope_v and_o reliance_n the_o denial_n of_o it_o make_v a_o creature_n to_o be_v our_o saviour_n and_o the_o object_n of_o a_o religious_a faith_n and_o worship_n which_o i_o think_v differ_v as_o much_o as_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o of_o a_o creature_n the_o first_o contain_v a_o visible_a union_n of_o our_o nature_n to_o the_o deity_n which_o be_v a_o visible_a demonstration_n of_o god_n love_n and_o tender_a regard_n to_o mankind_n the_o second_o deprive_v we_o of_o this_o sensible_a consolation_n the_o first_o exhibit_n to_o we_o a_o saviour_n by_o purchase_n and_o by_o redemption_n which_o be_v both_o more_o endear_n and_o a_o great_a security_n to_o our_o guilty_a fear_n the_o second_o make_v christ_n a_o saviour_n only_o as_o a_o prophet_n or_o a_o king_n may_v be_v a_o saviour_n who_o save_v by_o wise_a instruction_n by_o preach_v the_o way_n of_o salvation_n or_o by_o power_n the_o first_o respect_v the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o just_a wrath_n and_o displeasure_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o guilty_a fear_n it_o offer_v a_o saviour_n to_o we_o who_o be_v a_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n and_o powerful_o intercede_v for_o our_o pardon_n in_o virtue_n of_o his_o meritorious_a sacrifice_n the_o second_o have_v no_o respect_n to_o the_o atonement_n and_o reconciliation_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o only_a security_n to_o a_o guilty_a conscience_n but_o only_o contain_v proposal_n of_o peace_n and_o reconciliation_n without_o a_o sacrifice_n a_o thing_n which_o mankind_n will_v not_o easy_o believe_v when_o they_o be_v thorough_o convince_v of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n and_o the_o inflexible_a purity_n and_o holiness_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n not_o to_o take_v notice_n now_o how_o irreconcilable_a this_o be_v with_o all_o the_o ancient_a type_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n in_o a_o word_n he_o who_o believe_v christ_n to_o be_v perfect_a god_n as_o well_o as_o perfect_a man_n be_v easy_o satisfy_v of_o his_o power_n to_o save_v as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n for_o omnipotent_a power_n be_v essential_a to_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o god_n and_o when_o god_n become_v our_o saviour_n he_o can_v exercise_v all_o that_o power_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o our_o salvation_n but_o he_o who_o believe_v christ_n to_o be_v but_o a_o exalt_a creature_n can_v never_o understand_v how_o he_o can_v exercise_v omnipotent_a power_n which_o be_v peculiar_a to_o god_n for_o i_o think_v it_o be_v somewhat_o hard_o to_o understand_v how_o a_o creature_n can_v be_v make_v a_o god_n and_o be_v possess_v of_o divine_a perfection_n such_o as_o omnipotent_a power_n be_v than_o to_o believe_v that_o god_n can_v take_v a_o creature_n into_o a_o personal_a union_n with_o himself_o this_o i_o think_v be_v sufficient_a to_o satisfy_v any_o man_n what_o a_o fundamental_a change_n the_o denial_n of_o christ_n divinity_n make_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n by_o christ_n it_o make_v a_o new_a gospel_n and_o a_o new_a religion_n and_o therefore_o the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n must_v be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v a_o fundamental_a doctrine_n because_o the_o denial_n of_o it_o subvert_v foundation_n thus_o to_o proceed_v our_o salvation_n by_o christ_n do_v not_o only_o consist_v in_o the_o expiation_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o proposal_n of_o term_n of_o reconciliation_n and_o the_o promise_n of_o pardon_n and_o a_o reward_n but_o in_o the_o communication_n of_o divine_a grace_n and_o power_n to_o renew_v and_o sanctify_v we_o and_o this_o be_v every_o where_o in_o scripture_n attribute_v to_o the_o holy_a spirit_n as_o his_o peculiar_a office_n in_o the_o oeconomy_n of_o man_n salvation_n and_o it_o must_v make_v a_o fundamental_a change_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o divine_a grace_n and_o assistance_n to_o deny_v the_o divinity_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n for_o can_v a_o creature_n be_v the_o universal_a spring_n and_o fountain_n of_o

observe_v at_o all_o or_o not_o in_o their_o true_a meaning_n and_o signification_n by_o those_o who_o deny_v it_o as_o to_o give_v some_o few_o instance_n of_o it_o the_o love_n of_o god_n as_o our_o redeemer_n and_o saviour_n who_o give_v his_o own_o son_n for_o our_o ransom_n to_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o to_o make_v atonement_n and_o expiation_n by_o his_o blood_n be_v very_o different_a from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n as_o our_o creator_n and_o benefactor_n nay_o as_o our_o redeemer_n by_o covenant_n promise_v and_o power_n it_o be_v a_o more_o transport_v and_o sensible_a passion_n and_o the_o peculiar_a worship_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o those_o can_v give_v to_o god_n who_o deny_v the_o expiation_n of_o christ_n death_n the_o worship_n of_o a_o god_n incarnate_a a_o god_n in_o our_o nature_n and_o likeness_n a_o god_n who_o be_v our_o saviour_n mediator_n and_o advocate_n through_o his_o own_o blood_n vast_o differ_v from_o the_o worship_n of_o a_o pure_a infinite_a eternal_a spirit_n or_o from_o the_o worship_n of_o a_o exalt_a creature_n and_o this_o be_v the_o peculiar_a worship_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n that_o great_a and_o venerable_a mystery_n of_o our_o religion_n which_o be_v a_o thin_a and_o empty_a ceremony_n without_o it_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n in_o the_o name_n and_o mediation_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o virtue_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n vast_o differ_v from_o a_o natural_a hope_n and_o trust_v in_o god_n mercy_n or_o in_o his_o bare_a promise_n or_o in_o the_o power_n and_o interest_n of_o a_o great_a favourite_n though_o appoint_v to_o be_v our_o mediator_n not_o in_o virtue_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n but_o by_o royal_a favour_n not_o but_o that_o god_n promise_n of_o pardon_n and_o acceptance_n confirm_v to_o we_o by_o such_o a_o powerful_a favourite_n who_o god_n himself_o have_v appoint_v to_o be_v our_o advocate_n may_v give_v we_o sufficient_a security_n that_o god_n will_v hear_v and_o answer_v our_o prayer_n but_o this_o

different_a act_n of_o devotion_n and_o make_v our_o worship_n differ_v as_o much_o as_o a_o mediator_n by_o sacrifice_n do_v from_o a_o mediator_n by_o interest_n and_o power_n as_o for_o the_o other_o part_n of_o religion_n which_o concern_v our_o conversation_n with_o man_n or_o the_o government_n of_o our_o own_o appetite_n and_o passion_n there_o seem_v to_o be_v some_o new_a instance_n or_o new_a degree_n of_o virtue_n which_o have_v a_o necessary_a dependence_n on_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n death_n as_o the_o example_n or_o reason_n of_o they_o as_o that_o high_a degree_n of_o brotherly_a love_n which_o christ_n require_v of_o we_o as_o the_o badge_n of_o our_o discipleship_n to_o love_v one_o another_o as_o he_o have_v love_v we_o to_o forgive_v one_o another_o even_o

which_o reason_n i_o think_v be_v great_o abate_v by_o deny_v the_o expiation_n of_o christ_n death_n however_o i_o think_v it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o the_o true_a principle_n of_o

christ_n death_n we_o must_v cheerful_o obey_v the_o will_n of_o god_n not_o only_o consider_v as_o our_o creator_n but_o as_o a_o redeemer_n we_o must_v give_v up_o ourselves_o to_o christ_n as_o the_o purchase_n of_o his_o blood_n for_o we_o be_v not_o our_o own_o but_o buy_v with_o a_o price_n and_o therefore_o must_v glorify_v god_n both_o with_o our_o body_n and_o with_o our_o spirit_n which_o be_v god_n we_o must_v yield_v ourselves_o willing_a captive_n to_o the_o conquer_a and_o constrain_a power_n of_o his_o love_n the_o love_n of_o christ_n constrain_v we_o for_o we_o thus_o judge_v that_o if_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o then_o be_v all_o dead_a and_o that_o he_o die_v for_o we_o that_o we_o who_o live_v may_v not_o henceforth_o live_v unto_o ourselves_o but_o unto_o he_o who_o die_v for_o we_o if_o christ_n do_v not_o redeem_v and_o purchase_v we_o by_o his_o blood_n all_o this_o signify_v nothing_o it_o be_v all_o but_o phrase_n and_o metaphor_n and_o allusion_n which_o can_v form_v a_o principle_n of_o action_n and_o yet_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o so_o much_o insist_v on_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n as_o our_o maker_n and_o governor_n as_o on_o his_o purchase_n as_o redeemer_n on_o the_o love_n of_o our_o die_a lord_n who_o be_v our_o priest_n our_o sacrifice_n and_o mediator_n and_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o obey_v the_o gospel_n

whether_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o atonement_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n death_n be_v true_a or_o false_a it_o be_v certain_o fundamental_a either_o way_n either_o a_o fundamental_a

be_v certain_o a_o fundamental_a doctrine_n of_o christianity_n if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o fundamental_o repentance_n in_o its_o full_a extent_n and_o latitude_n as_o it_o include_v

religion_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n teach_v man_n certain_o to_o expect_v pardon_n of_o sin_n mere_o upon_o their_o repentance_n and_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o mankind_n never_o do_v for_o both_o heathen_n and_o jew_n think_v the_o expiation_n of_o sacrifice_n as_o necessary_a and_o more_o prevalent_a than_o mere_a repentance_n to_o obtain_v their_o pardon_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n have_v appoint_v we_o no_o sacrifice_n but_o a_o break_a heart_n or_o the_o live_a sacrifice_n of_o a_o obedient_a soul_n and_o body_n to_o offer_v to_o he_o be_v because_o he_o have_v
